Solution

The correct option is C Vestibular apparatus
Vestibular apparatus (also known as, balance system) is the part of the human ear plays no role in the hearing but is otherwise very much required because, these are the sensory information about motion, equilibrium, and spatial orientation. The balance system also helps to walk, run, and move without falling. Balance is controlled through signals to the brain from eyes, the inner ear, and the sensory systems of the body (such as the skin, muscles, and joints).
So, the correct answer is option C.
